Presentation Tuam face Loreto College, Cavan in the All-Ireland Senior A semi-final at 12pm today (Friday). The Galway side beat Convent of Mercy, Roscommon in January’s Connacht Final by 4-19 to 2-2 thanks to goals from Aoife O’Rourke, Amy Coen, Niamh Daly and Amy O’Donovan.
Tuam haven’t won this competition since 2003 but did contest the Junior B decider two years ago. However, they will be up against it against an improving Loreto outfit looking to make their mark. The game had originally been scheduled for last Thursday before the bad weather.

Colaiste Bhaile Chlair will be action in the Westmeath venue on Monday (March 12th) when they take on St. Catherine’s College, Armagh at 12pm. Claregalway were Junior C winners 12 months ago and will be hoping this talented group can continue their winning ways.
